Imad is fine with both foreigner or Pakistani coach

ISLAMABAD: All-rounder
ImadWasim believes it does not matter of whether the head coach is a foreigner
or Pakistani unless the game of cricket is going in the right direction.

Imad said it does not
matter who the head coach is as his job was to perform to the best of his abilities.
“Whoever takes over Mickey Arthur’s role would have my wholehearted support and
I do wish him all the best”.

“Regardless of where
the coach is from, the key idea is for him to keep pushing Pakistan cricket in
the right direction and as long as he does that, he would be the ideal person
for the job,” Pakpassion.et quoted him as saying.

Imad said it was to see
Mickey Arthur leave the role of head coach but that was a decision which
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had made. “I hope that I will have another chance
to work with Mickey in the future perhaps at some sort of domestic or league
level,” he said.

Speaking about the
limited order captaincy if offered to him, Imad said as a young cricketer, he
had always wanted to play for Pakistan and being offered captaincy would be an
honour for him.

“This is something for
the PCB to decide and I would never go to them and ask for this position. I
would be happy to serve under any player the PCB offers the captaincy to, as
all I am interested in is serving my country.” “My job is to play cricket and
if I am given the responsibility to captain the side, it would be great as I
have never backed down from a challenge, but if not, then just being a member
of the team will be an honour in itself,” he said.

Imad said PCB Managing
Director Wasim Khan and his staff was working very hard to try and get foreign
teams to visit and play series in Pakistan. “As a cricketer, there is nothing
better than having the opportunity to play international cricket in front of
our home crowds and no words can describe that feeling of elation,” he said.

Imad said he was over
the moon when he heard of the 2020 edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL)
would be held in Pakistan.

“The fans in Pakistan
are hungry for cricket and as a player I can say that it would be an awesome
feeling to be playing in front of our home crowds as they will cheer for us all
through the tournament,” he said.
